A few months ago, I started looking around for a new game to play. I
had a little more free time than I normally do, so I decided to give
some of it to a game. I decided that I wanted to find a Linux game
since I spent most of my time in Ubuntu. After
looking around, I found a game that showed potential: 0
A.D. At that time, it hadn't been
released yet. I decided to simply drop my gaming urge and to move on.

Revisiting

A few days ago, I decided to revisit the 0 A.D. website. They still
haven't released anything yet, but the website stated that they were
close to releasing an alpha. For whatever reason, I decided to comb
through their forums -- I wanted to know more. While lurking through
some of their topics, I came across the "Applications"
thread.
Wildfire Games (the group producing 0 A.D.) had several openings.
The webmaster one caught my eye, so I decided to
apply.

Filling the Gap

Within a few hours of applying, I head from Aviv Sharon. He quickly
thanked me for my application and invited me to the team's IRC
channel. After speaking with Aviv for a bit, I was welcomed to the
team. I now have access to the group's private resources, credentials
for the website, and a hefty task list. I haven't had a chance to
actually bite anything off yet, but I hope to this week. I'm pretty
excited about working on an open source game!
